From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge is the golf club and lodge that carries the legendary player’s name, set in the Orlando region of Central Florida. It is a destination in its own right — a place to stay and play rather than a downtown hotel — and it draws travelers who desire a quiet, green corner of Orlando to call home base for their journey.
The property sits within easy reach of the region’s top-known attractions. Once guests arrive, many pair their stay with Universal Orlando Resort and the Orange County Convention Center, while SeaWorld Orlando and the Orlando International Premium Outlets are close by along the International Drive corridor. That long, hotel-lined boulevard also strings together ICON Park’s observation wheel and the convention halls, so a full week of theme parks, shopping, and events fans out from a single, central location.
What you find on arrival is straightforward: your driver brings the group right up to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so there is no long walk from a distant lot with cruise luggage in tow. The whole vehicle is yours alone, door to door, which makes the handoff from a long day at sea to your Orlando lodging calm and direct. From here, the parks, the outlets, and the convention center are all a short local hop away whenever you are ready to head out.
The journey runs from the Port of Miami cruise terminal straight to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge — roughly 234 miles, taking about 236 to 244 minutes via Florida’s Turnpike depending on the hour and traffic. Your chauffeur follows the Turnpike for the long northbound leg and drops the group at the entrance, with the bags carried to the curb beside you.
Pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, not a guessed clock, so the vehicle is staged and waiting when you walk off the ship. There is a courtesy wait window built in at the terminal so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. Every bag rides in the vehicle with your group, the car is reserved for your party alone, and the whole run is one direct hop from the pier to your door in Orlando.

The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
I didn’t feel like chasing a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I reserved a private car from the port to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
